title: Exercise amount calculation using a wearable half-cell potential sensor for mobile aerobic exercise management.
abstract: The obesity has grown to concerning proportions in recent years, and it causes heart disease, type 2 diabetes, breast cancer, and colon cancer. To get healthy weight, commercial wearable devices with a accelerometer have been released to help users to quantitatively manage calories. However, an accelerometer has disadvantages: large power consumption and expensive price. We suggested a new method to measure the exercise amount using a HCP sensor. We performed an experiment to compare accuracies of exercise amount estimation using a HCP sensor with using an accelerometer with five subjects, and the accuracy of the HCP sensor was comparable to it of the accelerometer. Since a HCP sensor has lower power consumption and cheaper price than an accelerometer, wearable sensor can be smaller and cheaper than current commercial devices.
